At any rate, I have some additions to the list:

I have to agree with the post about Green Day's American Idiot. Especially the very well executed video for Boulevard. the entire album gives me the shivers. I get a feeling of reprise of wasteland in Baba O'Reilly proportions. Actually the nihilsm in this album brings to my mind the work of Cake's early efforts (You're never there).

I would also like to include a coupl of older ones that I am hooked on:

King Crimson's Discpline.
Pink Floyd's Meddle

- both of these allow me to vacate my body.

Alan Parson's Project - Pyramid which along with most of ELO is evocative of the Beatles work and dream flights of fancy.

I also like the Queen-esque work of the Jazz Butcher Conspiracy.

These albums provide an atmosphere of optimism which i think is refershing from a post grunge era perspective.
